Re-posting this video almost exactly one year later, because unfortunately, it's relevant again. Seeing the scenes of destruction out of France and Italy, the two most incredible countries of all western civilization, is heartbreaking and maddening. We are living in shadow of a once-great society. The only answer is Jesus.

I learned about the concept of ‘pastiche’ in Frederic Jameson’s “Post-Modernism & Consumer Society.” Once you become aware of it, you’ll notice it everywhere, including in half of the songs nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammys as Rick Beato revealed in his latest video.

Dictionaries have unexpectedly become a topic of interest and importance to me. Old printed dictionaries are more than definitions, but were guides of moral teaching. James Boswell said that Samuel Johnson “was so attentive in the choice of the passages in which the words are authorized, that one may read page after page of his Dictionary with improvement and pleasure; and it should not pass unobserved, that he has quoted no author whose writings had a tendency to hurt sound religion and morality.” But today printed dictionaries are dying, replaced by online versions that are easily updatable and, therefore, able to influence of undermine our understanding of important things by their definitions. Words and the exact meaning of things matter greatly. Besides that, looking up words in my physical dictionary has become such a fun thing to do. I encourage everyone to buy a great dictionary, the oldest one they can find!
